It is sad that Obama, Clinton and Kerry have so messed up the Middle East with their “Arab Spring” that Vladimir Putin becomes the hero who brings order out of the chaos.
Putin, allies with Assad. His relations with Iran are improving. (Hey, you don’t see masses of people in the streets of Tehran shouting “Death to Putin! Death to Russia!”) Russia sees Syria as a strategic location. They have moved military to the Syrian border. Putin believes Obama’s fingers in the Middle East have left a vacuum that ISIS is filling. Putin is closely aligned with how many American conservatives view Obama’s bungling of it. More bungling on the next page.
From Putin’s UN speech:
Instead of the triumph of democracy and progress, we got violence, poverty and social disaster — and nobody cares a bit about human rights, including the right to life. I cannot help asking those who have forced that situation: Do you realize what you have done?”
A report at Jihad Watch answers:
No, they don’t realize what they have done, and they’re poised to do more of it. And those of us who warned at the time that the “Arab Spring” would not lead to “the triumph of democracy and progress,” but to “violence, poverty and social disaster,” were dismissed and derided as racist, bigoted “Islamophobes.” And no matter how often the establishment analysts get things wrong, and disastrously, and fatally so, they never get called to account, and keep applying the same failed solutions.

Bravo! Well said.
Two choices: Either the Obama regime, who encouraged what they named the “Arab Spring” knew exactly the fallout, and wanted to destabilize the Middle East. Or the Obama regime is delusional and really thought having “JV Team”, ISIS, fill the vacuum. That’s a good thing.
Whatever you think of Putin, he is right about Obama. No easy answers, but with pro-Arab apologists like Samantha Powers as Ambassador to the UN, a real confidante, who has the ear of the President, and was one of the architects of the Arab Spring, you can bet what happens next will be more of the same.
Perhaps after Putin is through eliminating ISIS over there, we can invite him here to take on the tens of thousands of Syrian Islamists that Obama is inviting in.
How is it that people can’t distinguish between trustworthy and untrustworthy news sources? This is one of the worst offenders.
More BS. Obama did not create the Arab Spring. Dictators oppressing their people created it. Putin solves it by more oppression. How can anybody agree with that approach if you are an American. Putin’s style of oppression is a temporary solution in a temporay world. Oppression is not eternal nor will it ever be a solution in the end because ultimately people will not be oppressed.
I wonder if you people realize that this is one of the top f**e news sites on the internet. If you Do know that, then I hope you’re having fun with your private little jokes.
You know I was listening to Obama’s address to the media today and he made a comment that I can’t get out of my head, he said that Ronald Reagan is turning over in his grave for what Putin is doing, and how we are dealing with Russia, I say, I have to disagree with Obama, he is turning over in his grave because of what Obama and his cronies have done with this, Reagan worked real hard to end the cold war with Russia and it seems that the dems are doing their best to put it back in place by blaming them for our election snafu, but the dems offered up a poor candidate that could get a real message out, they lost and they want to blame everyone but themselves, this is really getting old.
So true
Barry doesn’t give a damn about America.
go get em vlad, kill everything in the middle east and you can have the oil for your trouble
Thank you !
Right along with Bush and Chaney, 2 wars on lies. They are war criminals guilty of the same things we charged$#%&!@*s with.
Dan Spellman, don’t forget, you’re relying on the word of Putin Press.
